Help: Cleaning inside of front windscreen

racingfreak · Post by **racingfreak** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:12 am

As the title states, what can I use to clean the inside of the front windscreen? I get this "film" on it that doesnt go away when just wiping it with a moist chammy and then drying with a micro fibre...it has that "hazy" look of polish that has not been buffed properly

I had the same issue on the S3. I used a moist shammy and the cloth for glass from those cheap sheild detailing kits. I bought the kit from the garage opposite my complex. Worked quite well and I don't have that haze any longer.

Windolene!

I bought a aerosol window cleaner from GW, foams when you spray it on then you wipe it off, works well enough on the outside when I got some oil on my windscreen. Next I'm going to try it on the inside, see how it deals with the 'haze'...

+1 on what sinbad said or even methylated spirits or Mr Muscle Glass Cleaner

+1 on Windolene. Also don't smoke in your car.

Take a bucket of warm water, throw in some vinegar. Restaurants use this trick to clean their windows.

this would be your cheapest and most effective option.

Autoglym fast glass on a glass microfibre will do the trick everytime for all glass surfaces ,its tried and trusted ....

I'm sure you said you had autoglym glass polish ? Try some of that aswell if you can't get fast glass.

This works well, used this in the past. But I find window lean does it best and is the cheapest.
The secret is to use a clean microfiber. After you done comeback with a different dry microfiber and wipe down again. I have been doing this for ages and it works

Thanks for the input guys

@kibim, dont smoke and will never allow anyone to do so in my car

@brads...yes I have autoglym glass polish, but it gives off a powder residue...dont want that inside my car

Will give windolene a go

fast glass is not the same as glass polish, you need fast glass, works wonderfully

The stuff on the windscreen is oil from your leather seats or sweat from your cloth seats

Golf 6 gti's dont come with cloth seats last time I checked...but thanks for clarifying...will try windowlene and autoglym if all else fails
